Nyota was leaned against the corridor wall as McCoy finally came out after being on a non-stop shift fixing what Humfree had done and dealing with ten pregnancies that were done naturally. The last ten were in the early stages of pregnancy and were not due for another month. How were they so damn lucky to get all the colonists out of there? The genius method of being surrounded by larger and larger numbers of adults that slowly dwindled by each trip to the shuttle craft. They only got the adults by a method which meant taking out a survival mattress from the shuttle craft and bending it around the men as they returned in a group that blocked their heat. They used the mattress for the children afterwards. McCoy was dismissed by Christine.

"How you feel?" Nyota asked.

"Tired," McCoy said, as he started to fall.

"Got you, old bear!" Nyota said, catching him with her hands keeping him steady.

"Thanks," McCoy groaned.

"Jim's quarters?" Nyota asked.

"I live there," McCoy said. "should not be a question." as his arm was draped over her shoulder.

Nyota supported the man's weight helping him down the hall.

"You two need a good nice bed together for all you did," Nyota said.

"Makin' sure everyone is human is tirin' but worth it," McCoy said. "say. . . did you resolve your argument with Christine?"

"Yes," Nyota said. "the resolution went pretty well."

"That makes me happy to hear for ya too," McCoy said.

He hiccuped. "why are ya out relaxing?"

"Someone has to make sure you get your quarters," Nyota said. "and my ex-boyfriend is meditating at this time and Jim is doing paper work, and I am free as a bird."

"Ya cute when ya right," McCoy said, pinching the side of her cheeks.

"And Scotty is drunk in his quarters from a all out drinking game with the colonist scientists," Nyota finished. "it is best you have a strong woman taking you to Jim's quarters,:"

"You are a great officer," McCoy said. "I hope we never lose ya to away mission."

"I will never be lost . . . except on my own terms," Nyota said.

"As would I. ." the man yawned "A preferable way to go missin' and know what is in store for that."

"Yes," Nyota said. "It is. "

She made her way to the doors of the captains quarters then knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal the broad shoulder, athletic yet shirtless captain leaning against the doorframe with his messy blonde hair swept to the side with bags under his eyes. "here's your future husband." she shoved the man into the captain's arms nearly making him fall to the ground. Jim steadied himself with a happy smile holding the fallen asleep doctor against his chest and his sapphire eyes brightened at her direction.

"Thank you," Jim said. "good night, Nyota."

Nyota nodded her head.

"See you in the morning, Jim," Nyota made her way down the hall.

She had a slumber party with Janice to attend after all and she had to be sure the grumpy, constant on-shift doctor made it to his quarters. It was a price to pay as the queen of the Enterprise. And her hips swayed from side to side. Her long unusual hair style followed the rhythmic movement that her hips were making in the new uniform. She past by Riley, Fuller, and Masters. Masters and Riley were guiding Fuller down the corridor with his arms on their shoulders while slurring and he smelled really drunk.
